Argh! So hard to choose. But choose I must, and don't feel left out if you're not a winner, you're all winners anyway, there's more talent in this forum than can be found at a writers guild prize ceremony...

So, without further ado, I shall give you the top 3...

3. Lawrence - for someone who has only produced a few stories, I really enjoyed this one. Some may say it was cliched, but it was a good story, none-the-less.

2. Meka-Dragon - Perfect example of a romantic story.

1. Ashman - Just on time, but the story is superb. I guess it's something I can relate to as well, but it was told so well that I think anyone can feel the emotion there. Reminded me of the Wires (the Athlete song).



Well, doesn't time fly? SSC 22 already.

And now for something slightly different...

The idea remains the same, a topic name which you can write a story about, but this time I've introduced 3 skill levels, just for those who want to push themselves a little bit further.

No extra marks will be awarded for picking a harder level, it's just a bit of fun to see who takes up the challenge.

And so, on to the topic...

Heart and Soul (as inspired by 80's pop sensations T'Pau)

Skill Level 1
Write a story based on the topic. Just like normal really.


Skill Level 2
The story has to be a love story and contain no violence

Skill Level 3
As above, but set in a contemporary setting from the point of view of a woman (or, if you're female, from the point of view of a man).

The challenge is set. The closing date is midnight on 11th April. Yes, you heard right. You only have 1 week for this one, due to me being in India after that.

Go. Go. Go...

I see this is going to be a difficult one to judge...

nah, I always enter just to prove to myself that the topic wasn't too hard. And I'd never consider my own piece to be the best anyway, even if it was in the running (which it isn't).

Yes.

Although judging this will be mighty difficult, they're all so good...
